At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Qingmu's father and daughter returned home with a full harvest.

Xu Qingmu carried six bamboos on his shoulders, and Xu Shuyue, Xu Shuyu, Xu Shuting, and Xu Shuyuan each dragged one in their hands, and the long bamboo poles scratched the ground one after another, bringing the dust that flew off.

Xu Shurou, Xu Shuyan, and Xu Shuxin each held a bamboo shoot in their hands, and the bamboo shoot was very large, and they were half as tall as Xu Shuxin.

In addition to bamboo shoots, Xu Shuyan also carried a fat bamboo rat in her hand.

The bamboo rat was tied with rattan flowers, Xu Shuyan carried one end of the rattan and shook it around, unable to hide the joy in her tone, "I'll just say Xinxin's luck, if we come by ourselves, don't talk about this guy, I'm afraid I can't even see a mouse hair!" ”

Xu Shuyu sighed, "Now I finally know why Yanyan, why do you always say that Xinxin is lucky!" ”

Whether they picked up a hare or a pheasant before, they agreed with Xu Shuxin's good luck, but they were not so shocked to see it with their own eyes this time.

Because Xu Shuxin wanted to eat bamboo shoots, and Xu Shuyan wanted to dry bamboo shoots to sell, Xu Qingmu had no reason not to agree, so he let them dig bamboo shoots by themselves.

There was no extra firewood knife, and Xu Shuyu also went to dig bamboo shoots.

Of course, they had no tools but to dig with sticks and pick up with their hands.

Then, after digging for a while, they were attracted by Xu Shuyan's exclamation, and watched Xu Shuxin grasp a gray and fluffy bamboo rat with two small hands.

The bamboo rat didn't struggle when it was caught, as if it was scared stupid.

Among Xu Shuyu, except for Xu Shuyan, who had already seen her more than once, was very calm, the others were stunned.

It wasn't until Xu Shuyan ran to pull the vines that they came back to their senses, and they stepped forward to help, tying the bamboo rats with vines.

At this time, I heard Xu Shuyan praise Xu Shuxin's good luck again, Xu Shuyu couldn't help but be moved, "Xinxin, the second sister can't wait to go up the mountain with you every day!" ”

Seeing her father's gaze sweeping over, she quickly changed her words, "It's okay not to go up the mountain, let's just go around in the bamboo forest and on the wasteland." ”

There are bamboo rats in the bamboo forest, pheasants and hares in the wasteland, and whatever you catch is meat!

You can also go to the river to catch fish.

The group talked and laughed, and soon saw home.

Before she reached the door, Xu Shuyan sniffed, "I smell the aroma of meat!" ”

As she spoke, she raised her head slightly and sucked a few more times, "It's so fragrant!" ”

Xu Shuyu teased her, "Yanyan, are you hallucinating?" The meat is still in your hands, and you can smell the fragrance? ”

Worried that the people in the commune would not be used to eating bamboo rats, Xu Qingmu decided not to exchange them for money, so he kept them to eat for himself.

Therefore, Xu Shuyu thought that Xu Shuyan would smell the aroma of meat when she saw eating meat in sight.

Xu Shuting also made fun of Xu Shuyan.

And Xu Shuxin and Xu Qingmu, who knew everything, smiled and didn't speak.

However, getting closer and closer, Xu Shuyu also smelled the aroma of meat.

Xu Shuyu made the same action as Xu Shuyan and sniffed, "Sixth, your nose is really spiritual, no wonder Ma Dacai said that you are a dog's nose." ”

Xu Shuyue asked: "Dad, it seems to be the smell of meat from our family, do we have meat in our family?" ”

Xu Shuyan nodded and affirmed: "It's from our family!" Mother is really making meat! ”

Saying that, she didn't wait for her father and sisters and sisters, and ran towards the house.

While running, he didn't forget to call his twin sister, "Xinxin, hurry up!" ”

Xu Shuxin heard the words and pulled her legs to keep up.

Xu Shuyu pouted, "She only remembers Xinxin!" ”

Xu Shuyue shook her head amusedly, "They are twins, and if they stay together all day, naturally their relationship is better." ”

As they spoke, they also entered the house.

Putting the bamboo in the yard, Xu Shuyu immediately ran towards the kitchen.

Behind her, there were a few small tails, but only Xu Shuyue didn't move.

Although she is also hungry for meat, she is still stable.

Xu Qingmu put the bamboo, sat under the eaves, and said to Xu Shuyue, "Yueyue, you can go in too." ”

I didn't start eating dinner, but when I entered the kitchen, my daughter-in-law was sure to give the children meat.

Xu Shuyue shook her head, "I'll wait for dinner, Dad, I'll help you." ”

Xu Aoki left her alone.

In the kitchen, because of the arrival of Xu Shuyu and the six people, the space suddenly became smaller.

They all gathered in front of the stove, looking at the three large iron pots on it, from large to small, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Xu Shuyu couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her eyes.

Xu Shuyan told her: "Second sister, this is true, this is a real iron pot, all three of them are from our family!" ”

She had already asked everything she needed to ask in the kitchen.

She pointed to the medium-sized iron pot with the lid on it and said, "Now this pot is boiling meat!" ”

The best pork belly should be five catties when weighed.

Cui Lanhua cut off the fat separately and boiled the lard, and the remaining lean meat was used to cook the soup.

In fact, such a good pork belly is suitable for making braised pork, but Cui Lanhua is used to being thrifty.

Even though there was peanut oil in the things she received, she decided to use the fat meat to boil lard.

The boiled lard will condense into lumps after cooling, and it will be white, whether it is used for stir-frying vegetables or bibimbap.

In the process of boiling lard, smelling the fragrance, Cui Lanhua couldn't help but drool.

Fortunately, their house is far away from the village, and she closed the doors and windows, otherwise other people would definitely know that they were eating meat.

She uses a sea bowl to put the boiled lard residue, which can be eaten directly or used for stir-frying.

Seeing that the children had come in, she pointed to the lard residue on the board next to her and said, "The meat in the pot is not yet good, there is lard residue there, you can take it out and eat it, remember to sprinkle some salt." ”

The kitchen is not well lit, and it is still hot, and it is even hotter when there are more people.

She waved them out quickly.

Xu Shuyu stood relatively close, and his movements were fast, and he suddenly rushed to the front of the board, and raised his hand to take the salt.

"Second sister, you didn't wash your hands!" The fourth Xu Shuyuan reminded her.

"It's not clean, it's not sick!" Xu Shuyu said that he said so, but his body withdrew his hand very sincerely, "You haven't washed your hands either, so follow me to wash your hands first." ”

The younger sisters below did not refute, and followed her out of the kitchen and to the well.

It was also at this time that Xu Shuyan found that she was still carrying a bamboo rat in her hand.

She put the bamboo rat aside and asked Xu Qingmu under the eaves, "Dad, are you still killing the bamboo rat tonight?" ”

"Why, you still want to eat all-you-can-eat meat?" Xu Shuyu glared at her angrily, turned his head and said to Xu Qingmu, "Dad, leave the bamboo rat until tomorrow!" Aren't you going to the commune tomorrow, just take it with you, and see if they accept it, and if they don't, you can bring it back. ”

Xu Qingmu: "Forget it, I'll go with the captain tomorrow, it's inconvenient, let's eat it ourselves, and I'll clean it up when I come back from the commune tomorrow." ”

Xu Shuyu thought about it.

For the sake of your own safety, it's better not to take risks.

"That's fine, then I'll eat it tomorrow." Xu Shuyu said.
